About
XT Brewing Co is an innovative, independent brewery crafting a wide range of exceptional beers. Our XT beers form the core range of characterful, full flavoured brews and our wild side, Animal Brewing Co, pushes the boundaries with new and exciting one-off specials. The options are as infinite as the natural world.

We designed and installed our 18 barrel brewery during 2011 and brewed the first full scale gyle in November 2011. The equipment was custom built for us in Burton upon Trent.

The brewery is on the beautiful Notley Farm estate on the Oxfordshire Buckinghamshire borders, with far reaching views over the Chiltern hills. We are as eco-friendly and sustainable as possible; recycling nearly all our waste products and our spent raw materials go to local farmers to feed their cattle and pigs.

Bottle 19 of 50 ltd edition. I stopped rating October 2012 but will rate when people are kind enough to pass on beer or if I can be arsed. Consumed Saturday 24 November 2012 Pours brown with filmy head. I like XT however I think cask is my favoured way of drinking them. At £10 a bottle I don’t think this quite hits the mark, its fine, mid bitterness, quite a bit of carbonation, fruity tang, little dusty on nose. Just ok. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1
